2. FADE IN – INT. CLASSROOM
MRS. HFB, a high school teacher teaching Media Studies in a
small classroom in Dukhan English School. Her students:
GABRIELLA, an 18 year old who hates public speaking. GITANJALI,
another 18 year old who loves art. NISRINA, a 17 year old who
has a really strong opinion, and JOHNNY, another 17 year old who
is very energetic and optimistic.
The bell has rung and everyone enters the room. Each begins to
talk about deadlines in other subjects and being relieved that
they don’t have one for Media Studies.
NISRINA
Oh I have so many things due in this week!
(insert Nisrina noise)
ALL
SAME LOL.
NISRINA
Except media! I’ve got 99 problems but Media
ain’t one like what.
Everyone begins to sing along with the song and next enters MRS.
HFB
MRS.HFB
Morning everyone, YouTube’s been blocked. I
wonder which idiots were messing around with
it…
GITANJALI
I’m so done with art, I’m so glad there are
no deadlines for Media.
(MRS.HFB looks at GITANJALI in a mischievous way.)
MRS.HFB
Surprise! You guys will be making a
presentation for the Year 11’s- you need to
3. make a poster, a flyer, a postcard, a
leaflet brochure, and a short promotional
film! All due in- tomorrow.
ALL
(in different tones)
What?!
NISRINA
When?!
GITANJALI
Why?!
JOHNNY
How?!
GABRIELLA
(in a panicky way)
Okay…
MRS.HFB
Calm down. It’s not that hard.
JOHNNY
Oh, well my night is sorted. Who needs sleep
anyway?
NISRINA
Miss how are we supposed to make a short
film in 24 hours? (insert Nisrina noise) How
am I supposed to get actors? Miss do you
know how hard it is to get them to act
properly and they’re like “Just chill”-
“chill” this is my bloody coursework okay, I
can’t “chill”!
4. GITANJALI
Miss my deadline for art is tomorrow; please
don’t do this to me.
GABRIELLE
(hides her face when camera is pointed at
her)
THE END.
